Days: May 2020 Discussion Thread

Hello guys, I've been watching days of our lifes for the first time in my LIFE, and I'm deeply disturbed by this show. I've never had nightmares, because of something I've watched...

I started with these 2 playlists, which have the complete Marlena-Devil storyline, I read about it and decided this will be my first taste of the show.

And let me say... I can't stop thinking about this show. I binge watched about 10 episodes and I couldn't believe that this once AIRED on daytime tv. I would say that I'm a horror fan, but just the idea of having the devil on display for 6 months every day on daytime television is shocking and scandalous. How did they pull it off? I can't decide if it's bad or very good... but I can't stop watching. I am completely shocked, that I never knew about this and just find this out. And last night I couldn't sleep after watching so much of it... it's just the atmosphere of the show is scary and disturbing. This is not for daytime for me. If my child have seen this, I would want to sue the show. Haha.

I remember when DAYS replaced Knots Landing reruns here (ending with the Val finds the babies cliffhanger and took me approx 20 years to get to see that continuation!) leaving me initially pissed off - but I quickly got into DAYS due to them starting with the Vivian buries Carly alive storyline:

God bless James E. Reilly and his messed up Catholic guilt.

Rex is tied up and yelling muffled through a cloth, and the hotel lady says, “Oh, sorry, I don’t understand American accents.”

 

I’m howling, y’all

Right? I'd understand if he had a nasty personality but he seems to be one of the biggest supporters of the show on social media. I guess it's down to his low-effort acting, but then again it's not like Chandler "Smirkey-Face" Massey is better.

I agree.  It crossed into just nasty a while ago.  He is a terrible actor.  Well so are most of the daytime actors in his age range on all these shows.   The constant attacks on his physical appearance are pretty awful.


Chandler gets a pass because of his more classically boyish look.  I used to love him in the role, but he has been coasting through years of bad plots since he returned.   But I want a Will that Chandler no longer tries to play.

It's really gross that insulting Freddie Smith's looks and his up and down weight (I'm sure they're all physical perfection) is accepted here because a couple of weirdos are obsessed with Chandler Massey. The kid would run in the opposite direction if they even breathed near him.

    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
